摘要: A method of fabricating a heterostructure includes providing a substrate, and implementing a non-sputtered, epitaxial growth procedure at a growth temperature to form a wurtzite structure supported by the substrate. The wurtzite structure includes an alloy of a III-nitride material. The non-sputtered, epitaxial growth procedure is configured to incorporate a group IIIB element into the alloy of the III-nitride material. The growth temperature is at a level such that the wurtzite structure exhibits a breakdown field strength greater than a ferroelectric coercive field strength of the wurtzite structure.
